The problem with putting Bailey on the roster is you have to put him on the 40man roster early, starting his arbitration clock. They won't bring him up in September unless they actually plan to use him. If they just want him "sitting on the bench to observe", he won't be placed on the 40 man, so he can't be suddenly used. it will have to be planned.
